Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. (1 Corinthians 11:27-29)

Thank you. It's a passage I often meditate upon for myself.

But considered from the perspective of a bishop or priest knowingly administering the sacrament to a pro-abort, it seems almost Pilate-like. Too politically dangerous to them personally to care about the soul of the person presenting themself for communion. Assist them in their path to damnation and save themselves alot of worldly grief.

For all the sins I risk being confronted with on judegement day, I feel almost relieved that this can't be among them. Yet can anyone seriously believe that the vast majority of American bishops and priests will not answer for their neglect of these members of their flock some day?
